In front of Cao Shuo was a bloodstained human head.

Of course, he was very unfamiliar with the face of the human head.

Looking at the messenger sent by Rampant Xi, Cao Shuo asked, "This is the messenger sent by Liu Bei to meet General Rampant?" ”

"Exactly!" The messenger said: "He tried to persuade the rampant general to be an enemy of Childe, and when the general returned to the army, he always thought that Childe was good, and that he would be willing to join him, so he ordered this man to be beheaded and his head sacrificed to Childe." ”

"I just need to know what the general wants." Cao Shuo said with a smile: "As for the human head, I can see a lot of it here every day, and this one is not bad." ”

"General Rampant also asked me to ask Childe, do you need him to send troops to help?" The messenger said: "Liu Bei dares to be an enemy of Gongzi and the Cao family, it is already the anger of heaven and man, and he should be killed!" ”

"If you look at the current situation, do I need foreign help?" Cao Shuo pointed in the direction of Xiapi and said: "Liu Bei has been trapped in Xiapi, and it won't be long before I can break through the city and take his head." I have received the general's kindness, you go back and tell the general, just give the head this favor, I will bear it. When this battle is over, I will definitely write to Your Majesty and ask Your Majesty to canonize the general as an official. ”

Cao Shuo promised to ask for an official title for Rampant Xi, and the messenger hurriedly said: "Gongzi is righteous, I will definitely tell the general." ”

"By the way, I want to ask you something." Cao Shuo said: "Did Zang Ba and Wu Shuo get Liu Bei's help? ”

"Yes!" The messenger said: "General Zang also wrote a letter to my general, asking how to solve this matter. ”

"How did they solve it?" Cao Shuo asked.

"They all killed the people sent by Liu Bei." The messenger said, "But General Zang, they sent the heads to Xudu. ”

"Everyone else sent their heads to Xudu, but General Rampant sent it to me, and this friendship is even more unforgettable." Cao Shuo said: "There is a war going on here, I won't keep you, and please return to the army as soon as possible to return to General Rampant." ”

"Childe is precious, I'll leave first." The messenger retreated.

"Wait." Cao Shuo stopped him.

The messenger stopped, fists clenched and turned towards him.

"Reward some gold beads to wrap around." Cao Shuo said to Cai Ji: "The poor family is rich, and the messenger is hard, so you can't always save money on the road." ”

Cai Ji left in response.

A moment later, he arrived with a small bag of gold beads.

As a result, the messenger was stunned and said to Cao Shuo: "Childe...... This...... Too much......"

"It's not much!" Cao Shuo said with a smile: "You came here to do something for me, and I can't treat you badly." ”

"There you go!" Cao Shuo waved his hand.

The messenger saluted again and withdrew.

When the messenger left, Sima Yi asked Cao Shuo, "Is it because Gongzi rewarded him so much to buy people's hearts?" ”

"I'm not the only one who bought the hearts of his people." Cao Shuo said: "When he returns to the army, he will definitely show off to others, saying how much benefit he has received from me." In this way, the soldiers under the command of Rampant Xi will think that if they attach themselves to me, they will benefit me in the future. ”

"Rampant Xi should also know that if he is an enemy of Gongzi in the future, the soldiers and horses under his command will not be easy to control." Sima Yi said: "The most terrifying thing is not that there is no army, but that there is obviously a large army in hand, but the people are not there!" ”

Gently patting Sima Yi's arm, Cao Shuo said: "Liu Bei's foreign aid in Jingzhou and Qingzhou and other places has come to naught, who do you think he will think about?" ”

"Liu Bei is the kind of person who others help him, but he will stab him in secret." Sima Yi said: "At the beginning, he joined Lu Zhi and was reused by Lu Zhi, and later when Lu Zhi happened, he left with soldiers and horses. Later, he went to Gongsun Zhan, and deceived some soldiers and horses from Gongsun Zhan, and then went to Qingzhou and Xuzhou. Tao Qian was not thin on him, but he gave Tao Qian's son a reputation as unvirtuous, and united Mi Zhu, Mi Fang and others to take Xuzhou in his hands. ”

"And my father." Cao Shuo said with a smile: "I want to kill Liu Bei, but my father has always blocked it, making it difficult for me to succeed." But he didn't expect that he would eventually deceive the soldiers and horses and take Xuzhou from the Cao family. ”

"That's exactly what Childe said." Sima Yi said: "That's why I said that the one who caused trouble in the Central Plains and Jianghuai area was actually Liu Bei!" ”

"What Zhongda means is that whoever is good to him, he will pit him." Cao Shuo said with a smile.

"That's it!" Sima Yi also grinned: "Fortunately, Gongzi decided to put him to death from the beginning, so that he felt that he couldn't find a way to live here with Gongzi, and it was impossible to come to pit Gongzi." ”

"My father wants fame, but I don't want fame." Cao Shuo said: "Achieving great things is a matter of the future, and now that I am only seventeen years old, it is reasonable to do something that surprises people all over the world." With a-stirring stick like Liu Bei, can I still kill him as soon as possible? ”

"If Liu Bei hears Gongzi say this about him, I'm afraid he will be so angry that he will vomit a bucket of blood." Sima Yi said with a smile: "It is no longer possible for Jingzhou and Qingzhou to have Liu Bei's foreign aid, and it is the Yuan family that Gongzi has to watch out for now." ”

The smile on Cao Shuo's face froze.

Looking at the direction of Xiapi, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said: "The battle with the Yuan family will be fought sooner or later, I just don't want to come too early." ”

"I understand Childe's mood very well." Sima Yi said: "It's just that the interests of the Yuan family and the Cao family are now conflicting, whether it is Yuan Gong or Cao Gong, they will plan to break each other." I'm not worried about the Yuan family's strength, but ......"

"My backhouse." Cao Shuo interrupted him: "You are worried that my back house is unstable, which will have a negative impact on me. ”

Sima Yi clenched his fists and bowed his head and did not speak again.

"Yuan Fang is flying and domineering, and almost offended the back house." Cao Shuo said: "I'm not worried about anything else, if my father wants me to send her back to Hebei, I will definitely not do that." However, she is the eldest lady ...... position"

"Childe's family affairs, I can't interfere." Sima Yi said: "But I believe that Gongzi can handle it well." ”

"Your marriage to my sister-in-law will be a few years away." Cao Shuo patted his arm lightly and said, "When the time comes, I will personally officiate for you." ”

"Thank you, Childe." Sima Yi clenched his fists and thanked him.

"I became the son-in-law of the Cao family, and I can find more excuses for you to reuse it in the future." Cao Shuo lowered his voice and said to Sima Yi: "If you stay in Xudu, I really don't think about your future. ”

"I understand what Childe means." Sima Yi said: "I was originally just a small captain, but now my official position has been promoted to general, and it is all thanks to the son's support. ”

"You are my brother-in-law, if I don't carry you, who else can I support." Cao Shuo said with a smile: "Work hard, sooner or later you will achieve great things with me." ”
